It seems to be some horrible hack for dealing for kdm to deal with Sun and SGI
X; I basically randomly edited configure.in.in until it compiled. :)
But this leads me to some questions. I now have both OS X XQuartz and MacPorts
xorg-server (not xorg-server-devel) installed. How different are they? Is
there a simple way to remove the MacPorts version? otool suggests that what I
built is using the libraries in $PREFIX. I don't know if this is simply
because the libaries are there or how the executables were compiled. Will
removing those libraries break them? Or do ports always depend on/link against
libraries which are themselves ports? So even if I'm using
/Appliacations/Utilties/X11, macports binaries are linked against different X11
libarires found in $PREFIX?
I have terrible memories of extermely difficult to trace and subtle bugs
resulting having both Solaris and X foundation X11R6 installed, and this was
back when `make World' took 4 hours on a $70k Sun Ultra Enterpise 3000. So I'd
really like to avoid having two xorg installs, if possible.
Thanks,
Itai
PS: For me, $PREFIX=/usr/macports. I think /opt/local is terrible; clearly the
product of a mind which used Solaris for too long. :-P

You can probably just pass --x-lib=/opt/X11/lib --x-include=/opt/X11/include (or /opt/local/... if you want to use MacPorts versions) to ./configure

In 1997 a group of programmers started writing a desktop environment to fix a
travesty they didn't create. Their program promptly found its way onto un*x
systems everywhere. Today, still opposed by a software monopolist, they survive
as soldiers of fortune. If you share their vision, if you know you can help,
and if you can connect to internet, maybe you can join... the K-Team.
